Acute Mental Health Services

Bramley Health offer two male and female acute units at The Langford Centre that offers an extension to NHS acute services during times of fluctuating demand and bed pressures. The service supports up to fifteen male and sixteen female Service Users in a purpose-built environment with en-suite bedrooms and access to outside private garden space. The unit benefits from its own entrance and access away from the main hospital and allows for emergency admission to take place from a secure access point.

Service Description
